That being said, I would be a heckuva' internet shopper. Good luck.
Being here or back in the states, no one works on my stuff, unless it is warranty. The past two vehicles (1997 Honda Civic and 2004 Suburban) have never been worked on by anyone. I still own the Suburban today (66,000 miles later) and she is still going strong. The 2007 Honda Shadow I just sold had 20,000 miles on her, never had it in for anything. The Honda dealer in FL was nice enough to reimburse me for the fuel valve recall I did myself. I believe in working on your own stuff. I frequent Chicago Harley and Surdyke for what I need. You are right about one thing, I am a hell of an internet shopper.

Just my opinion, I would steer clear and go with a proven muffler from one of the established manufacturers. I have seen those mufflers before somewhere and cannot remember where.

On the ebay site, I could not find info saying if the mufflers were built or they are a modified muffler. No manufactures name, no company name, no company location or address, no contact info except for a phone number and ebay sellers link with about no info on it either. The dyno info says his mufflers out performs all others. Said the EG with their mufflers gained 16mph compared to the same bike SE mufflers. I am thinking I am reading more bravado than beans...

With almost 1000 feedbacks, I was hoping someone here may have ran across him. No biggie, I will hunt down some Monster Ovals or Jackpots. Those are the ones I really like.

I bought some Jackpots from a forum member. I am pretty sure I will be happy with them. The last and final piece to my Stage 1 will be a PC V from Fuel Moto. I saved a $150 piecing it together myself, sometimes I wonder if it is even worth trying to save a buck....
